A Saratoga Conversation.


The following remarks were over
heard on the piazza of the United
States Hotel at Saratoga, last week:
Mr.. Blank, the millionaire, has
gone to- New York to work some
speculation He cannot spend his
income, and yet he is not satisfied.
Pity be cannot be contented with
his wealth. 1t is astonishing what
a power the habit OF accumulating
money has over a man. He can add
thousands to his principal, but he can
not add a farthiDg to bis enjoyment.
] j retired from active business
twenty years ago and resolved to
enjoy life. | have not as much
money as L had then, but | rather
take the chances of dying with the
apoplexy than Of dying Of oyerwork
in accumulating money that cannot
use
The rich mems sons Of New York
are q nuisance. Their fathers send
them to Europe to either get an edu-
cation or to get rid Of them, and they
return as dudes or drunkards. These
young men are ashamed to admit that
their fathers worked for q living.
The idea Of a good woman marrying
such a young man-literary throw
ing herself away. would rather m y
daughter would marry a poor young
shoemaker, provided be was sober,
Industrious and sensible young man,
for in such case be will not always
remain poor.

A Peculiar Pension Claim.

A pension claim was refused at
Washington recently which is of pc
culiar interest, and has been the subject
of much discussion by pension officers
1t seems that William Hedgspechter,
an ex-member of the 42d Indiana Vol.
unteers was captured in 1868, and
confined as a prisoner at Anderson
vile After remaining in captivity
five months he enlisted in the Confed-
crate army, he says. to escape starva.
tion and so informed his fellow prison
ers, that at the first opportunity he
would desert and if possible make his
way to his old command. After short
service in the Confederate army he
carried out his intention and finally
reached his old regiment in which be
served until discharged. Some years
agohe applied for pension on the
ground of disability contracted while
iu the Federal service. This fact
was fully sustained. The law pro-
vides that no one aiding directly or
indirectly the enemies of the govern
in the late war shall be permitted to
draw pension. Hedgspechter's
brief connection with the Coafeder-
acy made him amenable to the law
His motive, it is said, cannot be ta-
en- into consideration.

NO. Al
The Pay of Legislators.

Some curious statistics have Just
been been published concerning the
salaries given to members of Parlia-
ment in various foreign nations. To
begin with France, the Senators and
Deputies receive the same remunerati.
on-namely, fl sterling day. In Bel
GUM each member of tie Chamber
of Representatives gets eli month.
In Denmark the members of the
Landsthing are paid about 15s. day.
In Portugal the Peers and Commons
are given the same sum, which is f67
a year. In Sweden the members of
the Diet receive EGG for session
of four months, but they have to re-
fund fine l2s for every days alb
sence. That is not bad idea. In
Switzerland the members of the
National Council get los. per diem,
and those of the Council of State
from 6s. to los. In the United
States Congressman are paid $4,000,
and are allowed an indemnity for
travelling expenses. In Norway the
members of the Storthing receive las.
a day during the session, which lasts
about six weeks. In Italy the Sena-
tors and Deputies. are not paid, but
they are allowed travelling expenses
and certain privileges. In Spain the
members of the Cortes are also un.
paid, but enjoy many advantages
and immunities. In Greece the Sena-
tors get f20 month and the Depu-
ties $40. In Germany the represen-
tatives receive an average of los
day. In Austria the pay is the same
as in France, fl day. England is
the only country where members of
Parliament are not only unpaid, but
have no right to privileges. Work

Could Hold up Their Heads


There was an odd incident at one
Of the seaside places last week. A
couple Of ladies', who do not live in
Boston, and whose unpretcntious
way OF life had perhaps led them to
fear that they might be looked down
upon by Boston people, had taken
board at hotel much patronized by
Boatonians Of an excellent sort
Walking about the corridor Of the
house on the first evening after their
arrival, and observing with an inter
est natural TO all newcomers the peo-
pie about them, they happened to OBJ
serve two ladies standing not far
away. 1t struck the younger Of the
newcomers, who is little short. sight
ed, that these two ladies whom they
saw in the corridor were shabby in
appearance. She turned to her com.
panlon and whispered:
Well, | guess we can hold up our
heads with this kind OF people,"
The elder seized her handkerchief ina
vain attempt to suppressa hearty laugh
They had been looking at their own
reflection in big mirror.-Boston

Died From a Spiders Bite.

JERSEY Cry, Aug. 23-Ex-Town
Clerk, Thomas Mccormick, of Union
Township, Hudson County, died last
evening from the effects of SPIDERS
bite received yesterday morning.
Since his deposition from the office
of town clerk Mccormick has inter-
ested himself gathering specimens of
of minerals for the State Geologist.
Yesterday he started from his home
to make tour of number of desert
quarries siuated near Union Hill.
About 6 O'Clock in the evening he
laid down by a mountain stream and
fell asleep. He awakened by feeling
a singing sensation on the back of
the neck. He put his hand to the
spot and crushed an insect that had q
firm hold of his flesh. Upon inspec-
tion he found it to be black spider
extraordinarily large. +" t1o-s'f
He thought nothing Of the matter
until an hour afterwards, when the
spot where the inset had bitten him
commenced to swell and sharp pains
shot through his head and down his
back. His wife sent for a physician
Immediately, who applied leech to
to the wound The swelling still
continued and other remedies were
tried, but to no effect. The doctor
then ordered his removal to st.
Mary's Hospital Hoboken, where the
wound was lanced. The swelling
still continued, the skin on the mans
face and back being drawn so tightly
in short time that it cracked in
spots. The pain from the wound
was terrible and Mccormick was
placed under the effects of ether.
Physicians from the City Hospital in
the city were sent for, but before they
arrived the man was dead. The
County Physician will make an au-
topsy of the body tomorrow.

The Death OF August.

Across the dusty road the trees
Their cool, dark shadows throw.
And down in sunny fields the breeze
Bends bright-eyed daisies low.
Upon the pointed maple leaves
4 rnddy tipge is coming,
The tangled fern is russet, where
Gold-girdled bees are huInming.
Along the early apples cheek
a tender blush is growing.
on bank and hillside IN the sun
The golden-r0d is glowing.
Above the tired earth's throbbing heat
a hazy veil is lying;
'Tis sultry August's winding-sheet
Another month is dying.
Her race is nearly rGn-she flies
roaard sunsets golden ember.
With auick-d.aEn breath she hurries on
Hard pressed by swift September.
The goal is wen, the sun has set,
By fiery clouds attended;
aud August, warm and passionate,
Last summer mouths ended.

Experience With A Model.

Ny artist friend told me an inter
esting story of an experience he bad
| with a woman, now celebrated
model, when she first posed in stu,
dio. She dropped in upon him, say.
ing that she had been a counter girl
in O'Neils, shopping store, at about
Sc week, and could not make both
ends meet; that lady friend who
was model had spoken of him as q
gentleman, and that he needed sub
ject she would like him to tell her
what to do. He told her what she
would have to accustom herself to if
she followed that life, but she said
she knew all about it. He pointed to
a screen and bsde her go behind ii
and take off her things. Presently
she reapeared, but in little more un-
dress than if she were about to retire.
Informed that this was not what was
wanted, she disappeared and next re.
vealed herself in complete undress,
but with her back to the artist.
Here was an extraordinarily beau
tiful form, and as be made sketch of
her figure he debated with himself
how he should deal with her. He
resolved to be wholly business like,
and SO, walking over to where she
stood, he bade her turn around and
posed her as he wished her to stand.
By the time he reached his easel she
was bent double and indulging in a
fit of crying blended with almost hys.
terieal laughter. He told her it was
quite evident that she had to give up
her ambition and return to her former
life, and he supposed she would.
But she did not She is now one OF
the most noted and priced models in
to wn. She remains perfectly good
girl, but is not averse to sitting en-
tirely disrobed and smoking a cigar
cite while curled up like Turk on a
lounge waiting for her employer to
begin work.
The most popular model now, how
ever, is former model who has been
married and had several children,
and has at last been obliged to re-
turn to the cid life in order to sup
port her husband. Models in good
demand make $25 week. A most
curious fact that my informant says
has been noticed among artists is
that members of the demi monde can
not be got to pose as models. 1t
would be inferred from that that the
most utter shamelessness is found in
those that do that work, aud yet
very many-in fact, all who have a
modicum of brains-are good women
who lead orderly lives and keep ad-
mirable homes Julian Ralph's
Letter.

went South to get true statement
of her history, but the reports there
were as conflicting as elsewhere.
Lizzie Carlton persisted with her dy-
ing breath that she was of Pure eau
casian blood, free woman by birth.
! She related that her mother, Portu-
guese, on reaching this country, be-
ing dark brunette, formed the &C.
| qusintance of wealthy planter in
New Orleans, who became so infatu,
ated that lie took her to his home,
and to conceal his purpose from his
wife, passed the woman off as slave
her complexion enabling her to
pass for light mullatto,
Lizzie was the offspring of this
illicit strategy, and the planter, dy-
ing suddenly and without disclosing
tie true character of his mistress, who
also died soon after, Lizzie, quite a
child, descended to the heirs with the
other property. The estate was left
involved, and Lizzie was sold on the
block to the planter who afterward
puI sued her to Louisville. She fur
! TIER explained that the young man
who fed with her TO Louisville was
| her half lfbrother-the son of her moth
er's betrayer-and that she fled to es-
cape the prosecutions of her new
master, who persisted in soliciting
favors she would not concede.
A few pitied, while more blamed
| the unfortunate woman for having
imposed herself, as they call il, on
the community and for having mar
ried into one of the best families.
But time soon mellowed the harsh
ness of the judgement, and many be.
lieye her story to have been true in
all respects. Many of our Oldest in
habitants believe she was indeed the
daughter Of a Portuguese woman, and
was the innocent victim Of the unholy
love which drove her parents to the
base subterfuge Their sudden death
was the cause Of all her woes. Even
her ostensible master may have been
innocent of her true history. How
terribly were the sins OF the parents
visited on the child!
"And Lizzie Cartoons son, the off
spring of her marriage with Mr.. S. is
he still living?"
His life is shrouded in mystery.
Soon after the death of Philip S. the
relatives of the latter sent the boy to
Hawesville, KY, to be reared and
educated under an assumed name, and
since that time nothing has been
known of bis fate unless to the rela-
tiyes of Mr. S alone. They, you
can understand, may have selfish
reasons for wishing him to remain in
ignorance Of his own origin, for there
was and may yet be, considerable prop
erty 1t stake.
"Xnd the story is a true one in
all respects?"
"True in every word, syllable and
letter. / withhold names for pru-
dent reasons, but there are many men
and women in Louisville day who
can read the record and gil up the
blanks without hesitation. Lizzie
arlton fills an humble grave in the

joying that peaceful rest which mans
llhumanity denies to the living.

How She Changed Her Name

Her name was Sniggs-it didn't suit
Her rich, esthetic nature,
And so she thought she'd have it changed

With lots of subtle learning,
And unto him she did confde

Blaine's Touring Trials.

the waters here agree with Mr.. Blaine
he will remain four or five weeks, the
period of treatment prescribed for the
cure. Senator Hale's experiment has

both Maine statesmen suffer from the
same disorder, Mr.. Blaine is encoura-

both reslvet and tonic qualitiee. Ac-
cording to prescription Mr.. Blaine
will drink in solution every day $50
grains of salt and grain and half
of iron. One cannot but admire the
practical manner in which he
has resented being robbed. He was
given rooms apart from the Hotel

If any one thing has oftner and
more forcibly pressed upon public at

another it is the fact that the most

during a thunder storm is the shelter

persons seek when storm driven. and
more persons have been killed by
lightning there than any other place.
